Culture of indiscriminate violence is partly being set-up

With reference to the Wombles Report from Evian, this is an excellent report.
Ref:  http://uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=70605&group=webcast

One criticism to the photos put out earlier on the Wombles website (which are not accessible now - REF:  http://wombles.org.uk/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=G8Evian). I'm afriad you lot are self-congratulating yourselves of naughty stuff you got up to in Evian. So what that you were Wombles smashing windows. I'm sure anarcho types/black block from Europe aren't patting themselves on the back in their home countries saying "we're from such-&-such group, and here we were smashing stuff up in Evian". PERHAPS, THOUGH THAT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ANARCHIST/NILIHIST GROUPS WHO WANT SOCIETY TO BURN DOWN! (Names I've heard metioned include the Teutonico Black Block, and an extremist Aryan-supremacist political group called Npd).

They sound like agent provocateur groups like Baader Meinhof and RAF were in the 1970s - used to justify further police powers. Horst Mahler - former RAF terrorist - is now head of the Npd.

The trend/fashion amongst the anti-capitalist brigade at the moment is for violent upheaval. Our detracters try to claim the movement is divided and split as a result. The problem is that this becomes a possibility when the violence becomes indiscriminate - it does isolate some people in our movement (for instance, in 1999, I remember seeing a couple geeting their car turned over and beaten up in London on June 18th just because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time - the action by a few mindless thugs brought a justifiably angry reaction from other protestors).

Violence is fine. But it must be targetted. Otherwise, they use it as an excuse against us.
